HOMELODY matt black basin mixer, SUS304 body review
A matt black basin mixer that names its steel and its cartridge — two claims that matter — while publishing none of the dimensions that decide whether it fits.
The bottom line The entry tap that says what it is made of. What it will not tell you is how tall it is, and on a basin that is the measurement that decides.
What you are getting
A matt black single-lever basin mixer with a stated SUS304 stainless steel body, a ceramic cartridge and an aerator.
The two claims worth having
SUS304. Under a finish, a tap is brass, stainless steel or zamak — a cast zinc alloy that is brittle where threads are cut. Naming the grade is a statement about the part you cannot see.
A ceramic cartridge. The standard modern valve, as opposed to a rubber washer that hardens. What is missing is its diameter: 35 mm and 40 mm are the common sizes, and that is what a replacement is ordered by.
What is not published
Spout height and spout reach. The first decides whether a hand fits under the tap; the second decides whether water lands in the bowl or on the rim. On a shallow countertop bowl they decide whether the tap is usable at all.
Before ordering
Measure your tap hole — almost certainly 35 mm — and the distance down to your isolating valves, because the supplied tails have to reach.

What we like, and what we don't
Strengths
Names SUS304 stainless steel as the body, not merely the finish — the cheapest tap here to do so
States a ceramic cartridge, which is the mechanism that decides whether a drip is a five-euro fix
An aerator is fitted, which is what keeps a basin stream full rather than splashing
Compromises
Publishes no spout height and no spout reach, so whether a hand fits under it cannot be established before it arrives
The cartridge is named but not dimensioned, and the diameter is what you order a replacement by
A matt black coating is usually damaged by acidic descalers, and no care instruction is given

Questions people actually ask
Does SUS304 matter on a tap?
It is the corrosion-resistant grade, and it matters where the surface is chipped or where water sits at the base. On a black tap it matters more than usual, because the coating is what you can see and the steel is what holds the threads.
Can matt black be descaled?
Check the maker's own care instructions before using anything acidic. Most coloured finishes are damaged permanently by descaler, and wiping after use is the maintenance that works on them.
A basin mixer supplied with a solid brass rod waste and a cartridge the maker states has passed 500 000 cycles — the tap on this page that arrives most complete.
Best for: Replacing a tap and a tired waste at the same time, on a basin that has an overflow.
Basin mixer · ceramic cartridge · replaceable aerator · two DVGW-tested 50 cm G3/8 hoses · 5-year warranty stated
A chrome basin mixer sold as a complete, tested set: a ceramic cartridge, a replaceable aerator, two certified 50 cm hoses and a five-year manufacturer warranty.
Best for: A shallow inset basin where a flat spout suits, and where certified hoses and a long warranty are worth the premium.
A basin mixer that publishes its working height, its connection size and — unusually — that it suits an instantaneous water heater, which decides whether it can be used at all on that kind of supply.
Best for: An inset basin where the tap will be kept for a decade, and where the supply may be an instantaneous heater.
